Tacos
& Tequila (T&T) at Luxor Hotel and Casino will celebrate Thanksgiving
Thursday, Nov. 28 with turkey selections created by Corporate Executive Chef
Saul Ortiz.
The
holiday menu will feature two lunch options including Turkey Tortas, priced at
$11, and Turkey Tinga Tostadas, priced at $8. The Turkey Tortas are made with
white and dark turkey meat, chorizo, mashed potatoes and jalapeño aïoli served
on a fresh bolillo bun and accompanied with a side salad made with mixed
greens, toasted almonds, pear tomatoes and Panela cheese and tossed in
cranberry vinaigrette. The Turkey Tinga Tostadas are prepared traditionally to
embrace the flavors of Mexico City in which tender, shredded turkey is sautéed
with tomatoes, onion, garlic and chipotle adobo, topped with fresh lettuce,
bean puree, chipotle aïoli and Cotija cheese served in a crispy corn tortilla
shell.
For
dinner, the restaurant will offer a Turkey Combo, priced at $19. The
combination includes a Chile Relleno, egg-battered and stuffed with poblano
peppers, white turkey picadillo, carrots, potatoes and dried cranberries
smothered in adobo sauce; Turkey Alambre Tacos made with white and dark turkey
meat, Mexican cheese, bacon and poblano peppers served in a flour tortilla with
a side of rice and beans; and a Turkey Tamal made with white and dark turkey
meat wrapped in fresh masa dough and then smothered in mole poblano.
For a
sweet holiday treat, the restaurant will offer Pumpkin Flan with dark caramel,
egg custard, and cinnamon drizzled with tequila cajeta sauce, priced at $7.

Chef
Ortiz recently appeared on Food Network’s “Chopped,” where he brought modern Mexican
cuisine to a national platform. Named one of the best tequila bars of 2011 in
America by USA Today, Tacos & Tequila embodies the cool modernism of Mexico
City while incorporating traditional elements of Mexican style and Las Vegas
flair. The color mixture of old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed
aluminum, dark wood, leather, bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point
of T&T’s design is its abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum
panels featuring thousands of laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing,
tequila-drinking skeletons. Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch
across the entire length of the restaurant floor and across the common area,
connecting the T&T retail store and walk-up daiquiri bar.
